With the 2011 round of the Greek financial crisis, "()ome analysts () signs of growing tensions between European officials and the ratings agencies" and Nowotny gave voice to the concern, saying "that ratings companies were making it more difficult to stabilize the Greek debt situation. 'We have a somewhat strange situation. The banks themselves are ready, because they also have an interest in that, to stabilize Greece,' Nowotny said in Vienna, according to Dow Jones Newswires. 'The ratings agencies are being in this European matter much stricter and more aggressive than in, for example, similar cases in South America.'”〔Watts, William L., ("ECB unlikely to walk away from Greek banks" ), ''MarketWatch'', July 5, 2011, 11:52 a.m. EDT. Retrieved 2011-07-05.〕 In summer 2011, Nowotny said it’s the ECB’s responsibility to decide whether or not to accept Greek debt as collateral in case rating agencies slap the country with a default rating. “At the end of the day it has to be the decision of the ECB. The ECB should not be totally dependent on rating agencies,” Nowotny said in an interview with CNBC. “It is our own responsibility, our own decision. We have proved this in the case of Ireland, Greece and Portugal, with regard to what kind of collateral we accept.”〔("Euro Falls Toward Week Low Before Europe Leaders Meet on Crisis" ), ''Bloomberg.com'', July 19, 2011.

He said at the same time that he "doesn't see the ECB's role as creating a federalized financial government inside the euro zone."〔Lundeen, Nicole, ("ECB's Nowotny: Greece's problem isn't economic" ), ''MarketWatch'', May 11, 2015.
